Giotto And The Orators: Humanist Observers of Painting in Italy and the Discovery of Pictorial Composition 1350 - 1450
Michael Baxandall
This highly acclaimed volume examines the one firm bridge between the art of the humanists and the painters of the early Italian Renaissance: what Petrarch and other humanists wrote about painting. Baxandall surveys the main themes of their art criticism and describes how their language conditioned their insights into painting.
